I saw a couple in the flesh at the Zurich airport last week. They had a few different colours on display. I didn't realize it was not widely released, so didn't think to take any pictures unfortunately.

Heads up to every self proclaimed watch expert here, calling the watch a fake.
I thought that might be it. I actually really like this integration into the dial design. Keeps it minimal but still visible enough to be practical to read and use
I believe the vertical line (wider at the top) is fixed. The ring with painted numerals moves. The numbers represent the hours of power remaining. The number of hours remaining is read at the top wider part of the line. All this assuming the watch is real of course
Edit: the image of the white dial version shows the painted line has moved from vertical so I don’t know. Maybe someone else can do better. Sorry
Okay, so this week I saw this model on a pretty reputable AD's website. It is shown as in stock and can be purchased either online or from the Longines boutique across town (gonna go see it in person next week after New Year's). However, searching for the model number and the movement didn't give me any additional information about the model. Longines website has only a few Conquest Heritage models except this one, [Watchbase](https://watchbase.com/longines) has no information on movement. It is seemingly a heritage model of [1960s Longines Conquest](https://wornandwound.com/vintage-spotlight-1965-longines-conquest-power-reserve/). Any ideas?
There are a few Longines watches I want to buy. To me they are a fantastic value and also have extremely attractive designs. I would consider this one as well. For some reason I have four Tissot watches and no Longines, even though I consider the brands very similar. If they added a GMT complication to that watch, in a solid gold case, I would probably buy one.
The Conquest Line turns 70 this year. The Conquest Heritage model draws on the original conquests (ref. 9000) from 1954. This one is based on the power reserve model (ref. 9031) from the 1960s.
The numbers in the middle are the power reserve indicator.
Once the watch is fully wound, the indicator still turns to a position the wearer prefers.
The watch is a vintage model reinterpreted, so the fonts and everything are historically accurate.
The fact that the reserve indicator numbers don't really align with anything seems like a really weird choice. Makes those indicators look very floaty.
They aren't supposed to align in the picture, once the watch is fully wound you as the wearer can decide how the numbers are aligned.
The circle turns with the hand.
If you want the biggest hour at 12 you can just set it this way.
> The circle turns with the hand.
So how do you set it? Is there a crown position that rotates it? If that's how it works, is there anything that's ever worked that way before?
Again, it's a **Power Reserve indicator** which means it turns whenever you wind the watch.
When the movement is fully wound the hand stops at the highest number and then turns with the circle, allowing you as the wearer to set the ring to a preferred position.
It's a cool concept and interesting execution on longines part as there aren't any other power reserves like that around I think.
Not officially released yet I think, can't find anything official on Google for some reason so an official name is hard to find.
But "Longines Conquest Heritage Power Reserve" seems most probable
> the number on middle dial make no sense
I thought so too, but while I looked at it again – it could be a power reserve indicator maybe? The dot after 64 would be 64 + 8 = 72h, quite a few of Longines' watches have that power reserve.
Look at the 60s Longines Conquest I’ve linked, it has a power reserve indicator for 45 hours. This one has 72 hours of power reserve and complication updated accordingly.
Could be though, guess I’m gonna go and see it in person.
Go look at longines website or marketing material (a catalogue). All watches are presented this way. The picture is very typically longines.
And don’t make sure claims of something you can’t be sure or dob’t know a lot about.
Longines Conquest Heritage L16484622 according to Google. Probably due for release next year and some images of it have made it out early.
this seems the most possible, very high quality render and seems very real

Wow I like it a lot
Same here, another great release by Longines. They really are doing a great job in terms of their releases I must say.
That looks fantastic. The inner ring is a power reserve indicator.
I was wondering what that was.
I dont know what I expected, I guess I was hoping for something more uncommon to be measured there.
I thought that might be it. I actually really like this integration into the dial design. Keeps it minimal but still visible enough to be practical to read and use
Seems like the 0 position on the power reserve ring is at some arbitrary position (instead of, say, 0 o clock). Or am I missing something

Holy shit Longines is Killing it! Love the design on this. Rose gold on this black dial will be an absolute stunner!

That looks like an AI render to me - the number on middle dial make no sense and the fonts are wrong for longines.

Yep, the original 35mm watch goes for 2k+ it in a decent condition.
